News: Happy Summer Vacation

We got the book we have to read for 7th grade in May. It's called "Crash ". It sounds pretty cool but I haven't started it yet. I have read about 3 books since we got out of school and I still haven't started the book I have to read. Isn't it weird how we read what we want to read, If we have to read a certain book during the summer I'll read every other book I've wanted to read and I'll wait until the last month of summer vacation to read the book we need to read?

Happy Birthday to Anna who's birthday is July 2nd!

Happy Birthday to Kellie who's Birthday is July 4th!

I've been noticing some small things about my family lately that really annoy me. Like the way my grandmother doesn't like any of the pictures anyone takes of her so grandma if you look at this "Live with it! You look fine!" Also how my sister hasn't gotten me a birthday present in 2 years. So Jess if you look at this (not likely) "Dad and I are holding you Valentines Day chocolates hostage, and you know how much I like chocolate." My Uncle who always has the weirdest movie catch lines and strange hand movements.

Emily

Friday June 23 we got a little 8 week old Boarder Collie mix. We named her Emily (Emey for short) She is the one at the top of the screen. She is so energetic. She is not supposed to be nocturnal but I am getting the felling she is. She sleeps all day an then she wakes up at night and wants to play and bark all night long. We got her a cage for when we go away to work and to school and for at night, but every night when I put her in it she cries and barks I always feel sooooo bad for her!

Movie Reveiw Dinosaur

Dinosaur was a breath-taking movie about how a meteorite shower showers Earth and there are only a group of Dinosaurs who are still living. They have to move to a more safe environment to live in. They try to travel to a place called "The Nesting Ground". They always seem to run into difficulties on the way.
